Summary of the project:The Project ‘Touch to Europe Feel the Tolerance’ will be carried out in Tarsus/Mersin from 11 to 18 September 2012 with the participation of 32 young people aged between 18-25 coming from 6 different countries. Within the concept of the project which will be carried out with the aim of creating awareness about the issue of European Citizenship, the young will decorate the city by using the Graffiti Art. Cultural nights, trips to the surrounding area and various workshops will also be included in the program of the project which will last 7 days. In the project that will take place among the participants coming from Bulgaria, Spain, Lithuania, Estonia and Romania, the language of working will be English. Through these activities, besides dealing with the European awareness issues from their point of view, young people coming from different cultural backgrounds will have the opportunity to share their culture with others and learn about new cultures. A permanent work of art will be left to the very center of the city at the end of the project. Young people will use friendship, knowledge and skills which they acquired in subsequent processes. Young people from Bulgaria, Spain, Lithuania, Estonia, Romania and Turkey will join the Project. During the Project, Cultural Exchange will be realized as result of the organised sessions.

All sessions will be realised by applying non-formal education models and English will be the Project language.
